At the Compamed and Medica trade shows taking place between November 15 and 18, 2021, Optima Life Science and Optima Automation are showcasing new solutions.

Optima Automation, also a subsidiary of the Optima Group, will provide information at Compamed about a new assembly solution for glass syringes, among other things. The OPTIMA GSM has been optimized for even gentler product handling, higher efficiency and greater flexibility. The assembly machine covers the processes of tray handling, product separation, inserting and bonding the cannula as well as various hardness and test procedures.

Optimal for limited space in the clean room: Despite the large number of process steps, the machine footprint is reduced to a minimum by the rotary transfer platform. According to the company, maximum safety is guaranteed with 100% in-process controls: Tension test, flow test, optical inspection of several factors such as the needle’s angular tilt position or checking of bonding surface. Defective parts are discarded separately to ensure high output. Plastic grippers from the 3D printer allow gentle handling of fragile glass barrels. Also, individual requirements, for example in adhesives, can be considered at any time.
